From 'Ephemera' by Erin Cone

ERIN CONESanta Fe painter Erin Cone plays with human gesture and abstracting form...“I think I’m very interested in the composition, and the pure form, and distilling the realism, just as a way to heighten its expressive power.”

JONATHAN BLAUSTEINTaos photographer Jonathan Blaustein goes grocery shopping with one dollar...“You know, while I was making the project, I learned that we definitely have a problem in this country, I think, about the affordability of food that is good for you.”

STUART ARENDSNew Mexico painter Stuart Arends struggles with interpretation...“I was really frustrated in my studio practice for years, of not knowing what to paint. I was trying to make a mark that would stand for a mark, without being open to interpretation, and that’s really, really hard to do.”

On the program:

• On location for “Tribeca Hacks (NDN Country)” hackathon at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, follow a team that focuses on language preservation.“It’s not so much a language app or a language website. It’s more about people’s experience with their language, for people who are interested in preserving their culture and their language.”

• Santa Fe ceramicist Cannupa Hanska creates playful, fierce, and fantastic creatures.“I find truth to be really rigid and fragile, whereas honesty and sincerity have a level of pliability, plasticity. It’s flexible. It reminds me of storytelling, of more of an oral tradition than a written history.”

• Albuquerque’s Michael Hudock creates abstract paintings that are inspired by reality.“I’m attracted to surfaces that have been affected by the elements, by time, and they develop their own history.”

Telling rich stories about culture, the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati is home to hundreds of signs that may have otherwise been lost forever.

Painter Mike Welton captures a slice of the Midwest’s urban architectural history. “It’s evolved a sense of “that’s a building” but it’s a piece of art too. So I figured that if it makes people question the ambience of their surrounding and better awareness of light and architecture…it’s a good thing.”
